Description

Embroidery has an old tradition in all cultures around the world and was developed out of sewing, done with a thread and a needle in its easiest form. Embroidery is a handicraft, used to decorate pieces of fabric with different patterns and colors. In the industrial era a machine for embroidery was invented, accelerated the process and allowed to make even more complex and detailed embroidery. With a simple embroidery machine, women in Nepal produce beautiful patterns they use for bags, accessories and clothing.

Embroidery is a very difficult art to master and many women drop out of the program. After one and a half to two years, women will be able to start selling their embroidered products and enrich their monthly wage.

Due to its difficulty, the embroidery training program lasts four years.

In the first month, the trainee gets a stipend of 4000 NPR (around 38$).

According to her progress and motivation, the monthly pay can increase up to 6000 NPR (57$) during her training program.

After four years the woman will have very good skills in embroidery and will be able to sell her work for good money.
